Double Door cards

After making one of these at our New Product Day last weekend I had to have a go at making another. Just love them!

This is the one designed by somebody at Stampin' Up!

And here's my version:

Did I mention I'm loving this super cute stamp set?!

Off to the circus

Ask anyone who know's me, bright colours and Cutesy themed stamps are not my thing.

I must be evolving because I just love Stampin' Ups new product suite Under the Big Top. It was the first thing that stood out when I opened the new catalogue. Since receiving the Under the Big Top stamp set on Saturday, I've played with nothing else and I can't wait to order some of the other co-ordinating products like the designer paper and Stripes embossing folder. Bring on September 1st!

I saw this card on the inspiration board on Saturday and loved it so much I had to make my own!

This was one of the make 'n' take packs we received. Loved it! Changed the cards a little so they weren't all Elephants =)

Hope you're having a great Tuesday afternoon, I'm off to play with more Circus friends while my little boy sleeps away.

Swaps from the Stampin' Up! new product day.

I had such a lovely time yesterday catching up with friends and meeting new ones at our day out in Henderson.

Here are the swaps I made. Sorry if I didn't get to swap with you, I hadn't made many and then missed the boat a bit when I decided to eat my lunch first instead of swap straight away. I was hungry! Whoops =(

Anyway here are the card fronts I created. I tried to use all the new In Colours where I could. I really do love them.

So glad this set Aviary is in the new catalogue!

My absolute favourite set Forever Young! New colours Pool Party and Lucky Limeade with Basic Black.

Forever Young in Calypso Coral, Pool Party and Lucky Limeade.

The Pennant Punch and stamp set makes a great Ice-cream cone when combined with the Cupcake set. Used all the new colours here with a Soft Suede base.

I'll admit it.. I'm not a good blogger. I like to share photos but not life stories.. I am much better on Facebook though and post daily so come and be a fan! This is my FB page here 
So with that said here are some photos of some cards I've made and taught at classes over the last week.
I have been inspired/and or have CASED Renee Van Stralen, Carrie Gaskin, Nichole Heady and Teneale Williams.
 Enjoy! xx Kate

More Mother's day cards!

Monday again! The week just rolls around so fast =)
Here's a few more cards, the first two were from just playing around after watching some of Kristina Werner's videos where she was adding punched windows to her cards. The third one we made on Friday at the Connections craft group. I cased it from the demo Impressions magazine that we get monthly only I don't have the Strength and Hope set that they used.

Hope your week is getting off to as good a start as mine! xx Kate

Cracked glass panel

We made this card at a class I taught last week. I love this technique, it's so effective and easy once you know how.

Mother's Day Flower

Made this one today for a class tomorrow night and thought I'd enter it in this weeks Just Add ink challenge #66 which is to just add a flower.

Great stress relief scrunching and pulling apart the layers for this flower!
